    Campus Crimes: Death in the Ivory Tower Aug 16, 2026
    Show notes

    On February 12, 2010, biology professor Amy Bishop opened fire on her colleagues at the University of Alabama in Huntsville, killing three and wounding three more after being denied tenure. But investigators quickly discovered the shooting wasn't her first act of violence: a quarter century of buried history, closed files, and institutional failures had put a gun in that room long before tenure ever came up. This second episode of Campus Crimes traces the deaths of Gopi Podila, Maria Davis, and Adriel Johnson, and the chain of overlooked warnings that preceded them.

    Campus Crimes: The Murder of Jane Stanford Aug 09, 2026
    Show notes

    In the first of our four-part limited series "Campus Crimes," Vanessa breaks down the 1905 murder of Jane Stanford, co-founder of Stanford University, who was poisoned to death in a Honolulu hotel room. A coroner's jury ruled it murder, the evidence was clear, and the prime suspect had motive and opportunity. But the university's own president intervened, hired a compliant doctor, and replaced a murder verdict with "heart failure" in a cover-up that held for a hundred years.

    SERIAL KILLER: Israel Keyes Pt. 2 Aug 06, 2026
    Show notes

    In June 2011, Israel Keyes abducted and murdered Bill and Lorraine Currier from their home in Essex, Vermont, a crime that went unsolved for years. Months later, he targeted 18-year-old barista Samantha Koenig near his own home in Anchorage, Alaska, breaking the strict rules he'd lived by... and leaving a trail that finally led investigators to him. Keyes died by suicide in 2012, leaving as many as eight murders unresolved and families without answers.

    SERIAL KILLER: Israel Keyes Pt. 1 Aug 03, 2026
    Show notes

    Israel Keyes spent years methodically preparing for murder: burying weapon caches across the country, committing crimes far from home, and maintaining a quiet family life to avoid suspicion. Born into a white nationalist sect and mentored by domestic terrorists, Keyes developed a chilling capacity for violence alongside an equally chilling ability to conceal it. This episode traces his upbringing, his earliest attacks, and the elaborate systems he built to keep killing undetected.

    Show notes

    SERIAL KILLER: Ed Kemper Pt. 2 with Andrea Gunning of Betrayal Weekly Jul 23, 2026
    Show notes

    Once again, Vanessa and Dr. Engels are joined by Andrea Gunning of "Betrayal Weekly" to discuss the crimes of Ed Kemper. In early 1973, Kemper murdered UC Santa Cruz students Rosalind Thorpe and Alice Liu following a violent argument with his mother, Clarnell... then turned his rage on her. After killing Clarnell and her friend Sara Hallett, Kemper fled California before voluntarily calling police to confess to eight murders. His subsequent cooperation with investigators helped shape the FBI's behavioral profiling of serial killers.

    SERIAL KILLER: Ed Kemper Pt. 1 with Andrea Gunning of Betrayal Weekly Jul 20, 2026
    Show notes

    Vanessa and Dr. Engels are joined by Andrea Gunning of "Betrayal Weekly" to discus the crimes of Ed Kemper, who murdered at least six young women who accepted rides from him while hitchhiking in the 1970s. But the roots of his violence stretched back to a childhood defined by abuse, abandonment, and early acts of cruelty toward animals and family members. After killing his grandparents at 15 and spending years in a psychiatric facility, Kemper returned to society with a calculated understanding of how to manipulate those around him... including the doctors meant to stop him.
